Below is a list, although not all-inclusive, of actions that constitute a breach of test security: • coaches examinees during testing, or alters or interferes with examinees’ responses in any way; • gives examinees access to test questions or prompts prior to testing; • copies, reproduces, or uses in any manner inconsistent with test security regulations all or any portion of secure test booklets/online testing forms; • makes answers available to examinees; • reads or reviews test questions before, during (unless specified in the IEP, IAP, or EL/TPC), or after testing, this is applicable to both paper and online test forms; • questions students about test content after the test administration; • fails to follow security regulations for distribution and return of secure test materials as directed, or fails to account for all secure test materials before, during, and after testing (NOTE: lost test booklets constitute a breach of test security and will result in a referral to the Georgia Professional Standards Commission [GaPSC]); • uses or handles secure test booklets, answer documents, online testing logins/passwords/test forms for any purpose other than examination; • fails to follow administration directions for the test; • fails to properly secure and safeguard logins/passwords necessary for online test administration; • erases, marks answers, or alters responses on an answer document or within an online test form; • participates in, directs, aids, counsels, assists, encourages, or fails to report any of these prohibited acts.

SECURE TEST MATERIALS—DO NOT COPY

All test booklets and supporting materials associated with the Georgia Milestones Assessment System are confidential and secure. No part of any test booklet or electronic online test form may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means, including but not limited to electronic, mechanical, manual, or verbal (e.g., photocopying, photography, scanning, recording, paraphrasing—rewording or creating mirror items for instruction—and/or copying). Georgia Milestones materials must remain secure at all times and (excluding the Paper-and-Pencil Test Administration Supplement and the Test Administration Manual) cannot be viewed by any individual or entity prior to or after testing. To do so is a direct violation of testing policies and procedures established by Georgia law (§20-2-281) and State Board of Education (Rule 160-3-1-.07(4)) in addition to copyright laws and the Georgia Code of Ethics for Educators. Georgia Milestones materials may not be provided to any persons except those conducting the test administration and those being tested. All test booklets (used and unused) and all supporting materials must be accounted for and returned at the completion of the test administration and in the manner prescribed in the Test Administration Manuals.

Copyright © 2020–2021 by the Georgia Department of Education. All rights reserved. Guidelines – Paper Part 1: Introduction Part 1: Introduction ABOUT THIS SUPPLEMENT The purpose of this manual is to supplement the End-of-Course Test Administration Manual for student populations who will utilize paper test materials during the Georgia Milestones test administration. This applies to those students whose disability does not allow the student access to the online platform with appropriately assigned accommodations. Student responses that are marked in a Student Test Booklet or on a Student Answer Document are expected to be transcribed into an online test form. If for some reason the district believes student responses cannot be transcribed into an online form, the System Test Coordinator should contact the assigned Assessment Specialist at the Georgia Department of Education for guidance. Contact DRC Customer service to order Braille or supplemental paper materials if these counts were not provided during Enrollment Collections windows for the Winter and Spring administrations; EOC Summer materials are to be ordered via Additional Materials Ordering within the DRC INSIGHT Portal (Portal). TEST SECURITY PROCEDURES AND REMINDERS The security of the Georgia Milestones assessments must be maintained before, during, and after each test administration. System and School Test Coordinators and Examiners must follow the procedures listed below to ensure the security and integrity of the tests. If questions arise, or if any situations occur that could cause any part of the test administration to be compromised, System Test Coordinators should contact the Assessment Division, Georgia Department of Education, (404) 656‑2668 or (800) 634‑4106. • All school system personnel are prohibited from reviewing the contents of the Georgia Milestones assessments. • All Georgia Milestones assessments must be administered by a Georgia-certified educator. • System and School Test Coordinators and Examiners are directly responsible for the security of test materials and must account for all materials while in your custody. Lost test booklets constitute a breach of test security and will result in a referral to the Georgia Professional Standards Commission (GaPSC). • Testing conditions, especially the supervision and seating arrangements of students, should be designed to minimize the potential for cheating. Any sign of cheating must be handled immediately. Examiners are to contact the School Test Coordinator if you have any questions or if cheating or security violations are suspected. School Test Coordinators must contact System Test Coordinators immediately if cheating or security violations are suspected. • Instructional materials that are displayed/posted should be covered or removed in each test setting. • Test materials must be kept secure at ALL times. While in the Examiner’s custody, secure test materials must be kept in a locked storage area when not being used for actual administration to students. During test administration, materials and students must be supervised at all times. • Students are to be instructed to write their names on the cover of their test booklets and each sheet of scratch/graph paper to help account for materials at the end of each test session. • The use, or intended use, of an electronic device to photograph, post, retain, or share information/ images from any portion of a secure test may result in disciplinary action. • Examiners must account for all test materials before dismissing students from the testing room. • At the conclusion of each test session, Examiners are responsible for returning all test materials to the School Test Coordinator.

• For Georgia Milestones assessments that allow hand-held calculator use, it is required that procedures are developed to confirm prior to testing and immediately after testing, before dismissing students, that all calculators are cleared of any stored text. • A failure to confirm that text is cleared may raise school-wide (and possibly system-wide) security

Guidelines – Paper concerns. • A failure to take these steps constitutes an irregularity that must be reported to GaDOE. • Should it be confirmed that a student either brought information into a test setting through stored text, or left the test setting with secure test information stored on a device, the student’s test will be invalidated. Such an event must be reported to GaDOE. • Please note that should an emergency arise during testing, educators must first act to ensure the safety of all children and adults, and to protect property from damage. Beyond that, and to the greatest extent practical, Examiners should make sure that test materials are locked in the classroom and that students do not remove test materials from the test setting as they exit.

For additional security, each test booklet has a unique bar code security number printed on the back cover. A record of the numbers of test booklets sent to, and returned by, each system is maintained. Every test booklet, used and unused, will be scanned and tracked electronically. ALL individuals who have the responsibility for handling the Georgia Milestones assessments are accountable for all test materials assigned to them before, during, and after the test administration. Any discrepancies should be documented and reported to the appropriate persons: Examiners report to School Test Coordinators and School Test Coordinators report to System Test Coordinators. TESTING ACCOMMODATIONS Follow guidance outlined in the End-of-Course Test Administration Manual regarding test administration for students with disabilities who have an Individualized Education Program (IEP) or a Section 504 Plan/ Individual Accommodation Plan (IAP)/Testing Participation Committee (TPC) plan. Any departure from the list of allowable accommodations may alter the nature of the task being assessed, resulting in an invalid administration . ORAL READING OF TEST Reference the End-of-Course Test Administration Manual for details. SIGNED ADMINISTRATION Reference the End-of-Course Test Administration Manual for details. LARGE PRINT/LARGE FONT Students who are eligible for the “Large Print/Large Font” accommodation have the option of taking the online Georgia Milestones assessments. Reference the End-of-Course Test Administration Manual for additional details about testing Large Print/Large Font within INSIGHT. BRAILLE Students who are identified as visually impaired and require Braille material for their instructional program qualify for the Braille version of the Georgia Milestones assessments and will take the paper-and-pencil format of the assessment. Reference Part 3: Directions for Examiners for details for the procedures for administering the Braille version.

End-of-Course Paper-and-Pencil Test Administration Supplement Page 11 Copyright © 2020–2021 by the Georgia Department of Education. All rights reserved. Part 3: Directions for Examiners Part 3: Directions for Examiners PREPARING FOR THE TEST ADMINISTRATION The information below will help ensure a successful test administration: • The End-of-Course Paper-and-Pencil Test Administration Supplement will be used to administer all EOC paper assessments. • Proctors are recommended for every 20 students and are required if 30 or more students are being tested in one location. • Workspace for each student should be large enough to accommodate test materials. • Workspace should be cleared of all other materials. Posters, charts, and other classroom materials related to the content being tested should be removed or covered during testing. • Plan for students who may finish early during the testing session (e.g., something to read). The work or reading material should be unrelated to the content being tested and should be stored somewhere other than the student’s workspace while the student is actively testing. Students should not be permitted to resume work on their tests once they begin working on other tasks. • Become familiar with the information needed on the Student Answer Document. It may be helpful to have general testing information written on the board prior to testing.

EXAMINER TEST MATERIALS Make sure you have the following materials available at testing time:

Examiner • A copy of the content area script from Appendices B–E of this Paper-and-Pencil Test Administration Supplement • Class roster with GTID numbers • A timing device such as a clock or watch to keep time during test administration • A “Testing—Do Not Disturb” sign to post on the testing location door • A “No Electronic Devices” sign to post in the testing location • Contact numbers for the School Test Coordinator

STUDENT TEST MATERIALS Make sure each student has the following materials available at testing time: • Student Test Booklet • Student Answer Document • Two No. 2 pencils with erasers • Blank/clean scratch paper, which can include lined notebook paper; students are allowed to have one sheet for each course (two for Mathematics and Section 1, Reading and Evidence-Based Writing, of English Language Arts). If needed, students can have additional scratch paper if they request it.

• One-quarter-inch clean, blank graph paper (x and y axis can be marked on the graph paper to generate coordinate grids) for Coordinate Algebra and Algebra I may be printed from the GaDOE website. NOTE: Scratch paper and graph paper are considered secure and must be returned to the School Test Coordinator with other test materials. Students should put their names on each piece of scratch/ graph paper and return it with their printed Test Tickets. • Graphing calculator or scientific calculator for Section 1, Part B and Section 2 of Coordinate Algebra and Algebra I assessments

The Examiner is responsible for monitoring the use of appropriate calculators . Students are not permitted to use, or bring into the testing environment, any electronic device that could allow them to access, retain, or transmit information (e.g., cell phone, smartphone, smartwatch, electronic recording, camera, or playback device, etc.). Announcements must be made prior to testing that such devices are not allowed in the testing environment and that possession or improper use of such devices during testing may result in disciplinary action in accordance with the system’s student code of conduct and/or test invalidation. This supplement contains, in a later section, a script that must be read to students regarding this topic. Districts and schools must have a plan to collect and secure such devices so that they are not accessible during testing . The use, or intended use, of an electronic device to photograph, post, retain, or share information/images from any portion of a secure test will result in invalidation.

The steps to be completed before you begin administering the tests are outlined in the sections Examiner called “Before Administering the EOC Assessments” and “General Directions” in Part 3 of this supplement . BEFORE ADMINISTERING THE EOC ASSESSMENTS Before administering the EOC: • Post a “Testing—Do Not Disturb” sign on testing location door. • Post a “No Electronic Devices” sign in the testing location. • Write the name of the school, system, and EOC assessment to be administered on the board. • Make sure students have all test materials. (See the Student Test Materials section in Part 3 of this supplement.) • For students who will be using calculators, do not distribute them for Section 1 of Mathematics. Section 1, Part A, is the no-calculator portion of the assessment. Examiners should hold the calculators to be distributed to students when students request them after finishing. IMPORTANT: If any students use hand-held calculators for EOC assessments that allow calculator use, Examiners must ensure that all calculators are cleared of any stored text before beginning the assessment and immediately after completion. A failure to confirm that text is cleared may constitute a testing irregularity.

End-of-Course Paper-and-Pencil Test Administration Supplement Page 13 Copyright © 2020–2021 by the Georgia Department of Education. All rights reserved. Part 3: Directions for Examiners GENERAL DIRECTIONS • Follow the exact script provided in this End-of-Course Paper-and-Pencil Test Administration Supplement. • You may repeat any part of the directions exactly as printed as many times as needed. Directions may not be paraphrased. • Circulate around the room to see that students are recording their information on the correct section of their Student Answer Document. • Under no circumstances should you suggest answers or evaluate student work during the testing session. • All school system personnel are prohibited from examining the contents of the EOC assessment . • Read aloud word for word the material that is printed in bold type and preceded by the word “Say.” The material in italicized type is information for you and should not be read to the students. • There is no minimum time for testing. If all students have submitted the test the examiner should complete the test section.

ADMINISTERING THE BRAILLE VERSION The directions in this supplement also apply to the administration of the Braille version of the EOC assessments. Additional Braille instructions are as follows: • Disregard references to breaking the test booklet seal. Braille test booklets do not have seals. • References to specific page numbers in the standard Student Test Booklet may be incorrect for the Braille version. To supply the correct page numbers and other references, Examiners should review—

Examiner prior to testing—all test materials that accompany the Braille test booklet, including the supplemental instructions and the standard Student Test Booklet. • Follow the procedures in Part 5 of this supplement regarding the bubbling of demographic information and other coding. Additionally, the student’s name, Examiner, school, and system must be printed on the front cover of each Braille test booklet. • Indicate on the Student Answer Document that the student was administered the Braille version by filling in the circle next to “Braille” in the “For Teacher Use Only” section. • Because extra time may be needed for administering the Braille version, it is recommended that students be tested individually or in a small-group setting. • Examiners who administer the Braille version will use the standard Student Test Booklet shipped with the Braille forms throughout testing. • The student responses must be transcribed onto the Student Answer Document exactly as provided by the student. When a Braille student responds by pointing to the answers or giving a verbal response in English only, the Examiner is permitted during the course of test administration to fill in student responses on the Student Answer Document. When a Braille student responds by using a Braille writer or marking answers in the test booklet, see the Student Assessment Handbook for more information. In each instance, the Examiner must provide written affirmation to the School Test Coordinator that student responses have been completed on the Student Answer Document with fidelity. Under no circumstances should a student’s answer be altered or edited—to do so is a direct violation of test security.

• Keep the transcribed Student Answer Document with the other used Student Answer Documents from the student’s class. The School Test Coordinator should return the Braille test booklets with the shipment of nonscorable materials. • The Examiner should record student responses taking a Braille test via INSIGHT. The Examiner should use the student’s test ticket to log into INSIGHT. The Examiner will follow the instructions in the Accommodations Transcription memo, which is included in the Braille kit in order to transcribe the student responses from the test.

ADMINISTERING THE LARGE-PRINT VERSION The directions in this supplement also apply to the administration of the Large-Print version of the EOC assessments. Additional Large-Print instructions are as follows: • Disregard references to breaking the test booklet seal. Large-Print test booklets do not have seals. • Follow the procedures in Part 5 of this supplement regarding the bubbling of demographic information and other coding. Additionally, the student’s name, Examiner, school, and system must be printed on the front cover of each Large-Print test. • Indicate on the standard Student Answer Document that the student was administered the Large-Print version by filling in the circle next to “Large-Print” in the “For Teacher Use Only” section. • Because extra time may be needed for administering the Large-Print version, it is recommended that students be tested individually or in a small-group setting.

• Students taking the Large-Print version of the EOC assessments should record or have their answers Examiner recorded as specified in their IEP. A typical testing accommodation is for the student to record answers directly in the Large-Print test booklet by circling the letters for their selected responses, or using a similar marking system. The Large-Print Student Answer Document that will accompany the Large-Print Student Test Booklet is also an option. Regardless of the means of response, student answers must be transcribed into an online test form. If a site is unable to transcribe into an online form, responses must be transcribed into a standard Student Answer Document. In instances where transcription is needed, please follow procedures outlined in the Georgia Milestones Test Administration Manual, this Paper-and-Pencil Test Administration Supplement, and the Student Assessment Handbook. The Student Assessment Handbook can be found at http://www.gadoe.org/ Curriculum-Instruction-and-Assessment/Assessment/Pages/Information-For-Educators.aspx. • Keep the transcribed Student Answer Document with the other used Student Answer Documents from the student’s class to be included in the return shipment. The School Test Coordinator should return the Large-Print test booklets with the nonscorable shipment.
